For some reason it hit me just now. Where the hell is Pritch?

He never registered on the new site.

Has anyone seen the Season 4 ads on Sci Fi? I love those.

Has anyone seen the Season 4 ads on Sci Fi? I love those.

I adore the character ads, so perfect... visuals, music, everything. That's the kind of advertising the show needed, especially after seeing this ridiculous Quiznos ad during Razor: (SPOILERS) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAjCLmOMU84

I still can't wrap my mind around that one.:crazy:

[Qrazy]

So we're going to have to wait until 2009 for the end of the series? Fuck that shit.

Huh? What are you referring to?

[Qrazy]

Huh? What are you referring to?

The wikipedia article said the first half of the season would air in March 2008 and the second half could air as late as 2009.

That's due to the writer's strike, no? I think a lot of shows are going to have lengthy delays until the strike is over. I think wikipedia is merely guessing as to the projected end date.

EDIT: Hm, maybe not. The AICN article states Bamber is indicating Sci-Fi is trying to get two final seasons out of one. Lame. I can only hope he is joking.

In any case, they have finished production on only 13 out of 20 episodes before the strike hit, so Sci-Fi may get a perfectly good excuse to do it, sadly.

Welcome to awesomeness.

[Dukefrukem]

Am I the only one that thought Season 3 sucked? They got new writers and it just was NOT fun to watch for me.

[Raiders]

Am I the only one that thought Season 3 sucked?

I can only hope so. I also don't know where you got that they had all new writers. Ronald Moore is still by and large the main creative force to the show, and we was there for every episode.

[number8]

I can only hope so.

I'm pretty sure he is, around here anyways.

[[ETM]]

I'm pretty sure he is, around here anyways.

Yeah. Some people hated certain episodes, but not the whole season.

What did you think of Razor, Duke?

[Dukefrukem]

Don't get me wrong I thought the first two seasons were awesome and I give them my highest praise, but Season 3 dragged big time.

[Dukefrukem]

Yeah. Some people hated certain episodes, but not the whole season.

What did you think of Razor, Duke?

I actually haven't seen it.

[Dukefrukem]

this is exactly why i hated season 3.

In the podcast for the Season Three finale, Ron Moore stated that in an effort to attract new viewers, the Sci-Fi Channel pressured the production team to make stand-alone episodes, instead of focusing on previously established storylines. However, this met with a negative critical reception, and Moore stated that by the end of Season Three, the critical reaction and declining ratings following this paradigm shift forced the Sci-Fi Channel to admit that stand-alone episodes simply do not work in the format that the series has established for itself

We all hated that, but the season itself had way more ups than downs.

[Raiders]

Yeah, there were a few weak episodes, but the first couple, the final three or four, and the boxing match episode (somewhat stand-alone, but also relating to past events) are among the finest of the entire series.

[Dukefrukem]

man i was so annoyed with that boxing epsiode. so annoyed.

[number8]

Oh man, that boxing episode was... I can't even think of a word exquisite enough to describe it. Not even in French.

[[ETM]]

Interesting how people either hate its guts or are in love with the boxing episode.

[Dukefrukem]

Interesting how people either hate its guts or are in love with the boxing episode.

I think sometimes I get my reactions mixed up with how well the episode depicts exactly what the characters are going through. From what I remember; both Apollo and Starbuck are secretly in love with each other, but both are with different people. During the entire fight, they are both so stubborn not to give up, not to give in and just express their feelings (which is the metaphor), that they inflict physical pain on each other instead. To the point where they are just standing, barely moving, neither a winner.

My reaction to that is annoyed because it seems so blatant how they feel about each other. The tension, their reaction everything just annoys me so much! Almost as annoying as me wanting them to just find Earth already!!! But of course I secretly don't want them to find Earth and continue this journey for as long as possible.

Season three is taking ages to reach Belgian or Dutch shores. So in the meantime, why dontcha tell me how it stacks up to the previous two.

EDIT: Perhaps I could have perused the thread, but I'd hate to stumble upon the tiniest of spoilers.

[ledfloyd]

i saw the miniseries last week. it didn't convince me of the shows greatness, but it was good enough that i want to see more. i'm starting the first season today. i have a feeling i'm going to get very tired of the word 'frak'.
